The next day, it was morning in Xia Country, and evening in the United States.
The reputation of "Nebula Commando" had completely crashed, while "Project Frost Snow" was gaining popularity!
New Force Games and Du Huo Studio couldn't accept failure.
They couldn't accept the disastrous game sales, nor could they accept the game becoming a "Frost Snow-like" game plagiarizing Dream Building's "Project Frost Snow."
So they played their last card—
Diversity! Inclusivity! Sexual minorities!
In the past, this card had always been effective.
—Not because it was powerful, but because most netizens didn't dare to refute it.
But this time, the situation was different!
This time, Carly stood up and angrily criticized them.
Countless transgender people like Carly also stood up, angrily criticizing New Force Games and Du Huo Studio for stigmatizing the transgender community!
This card is indeed very powerful in the United States.
But you, Du Huo Studio and SBI, aren't the only ones who can play this card!
This round is magic against magic!
What's even more amusing is:
Casual players won't buy "Nebula Commando," and real transgender people who play games won't buy it either.
So who will buy it?
The transgender people who spend all day protesting, scolding, blindly sticking together, and demanding privileges on social media?
No, they are too busy with "social movements" to play games.
The result is:
After a magical battle, it looks like a big deal.
But the sales of "Nebula Commando" haven't changed at all—still a pitiful three digits.
What's even more hilarious is: this sales figure was exposed by a third-party website!
"This shows that—only the developers are buying this game."
"And many developers themselves are unwilling to buy it!"
—
The game media and players in Xia Country also entered the New Year's rhythm.
Game media frantically forwarded related news, reporting on the biggest joke in the history of the gaming circle—a firework worth over 300 million dollars.
Huo Dao's manuscript was also released, contributing two golden sentences that spread throughout the player circle:
[The King of War's sales of 15 million copies show a declining trend.]
[Nebula Commando's sales of 684 copies show great style!]
Players, while cursing "Good riddance," rushed to Yang Hui's Weiguang and Redbook accounts to "condole":
"Is this the epoch-making masterpiece you were talking about?"
"You said Dream Building's games are trash, and the masterpiece you participated in can crush Dream Building, really??"
"Good morning, have you eaten? If not, eat my fist!"
"Ask the higher-ups above you, how long will it take for 'Nebula Commando' to recover its costs? Could it be…never? Hahahaha!"
"I understand why you hate Xu Meng, it turns out it's a clash of aesthetics! Xu Meng likes beautiful women, and you, you like super ugly fat pigs!"
…
Even though Yang Hui had blacklisted ten thousand accounts, the surging netizens easily flooded her comment section!
In less than an hour, there were more than 30,000 comments under her pinned post.
This number is more than 40 times the sales of "Nebula Commando"!
Yang Hui had no room for rebuttal and quickly deleted all posts from her Weiguang account.
But it was useless.
She was still being chased and @ by netizens, frantically ridiculed.
An hour later, Yang Hui couldn't stand it anymore and deleted her Redbook account.
From then on, she was completely driven out of social media.
In today's social media era, completely losing the space for social expression is tantamount to a digital death sentence.
Especially for someone like Yang Hui who has extreme and intense views that she wants to express, it is even more so.
All morning, Yang Hui looked like a stranger should not approach.
Wearing a stinky face, she didn't give anyone a good look.
Colleagues in the company walked around her when they saw her.
It wasn't until noon that Yang Hui was called into the boss's office, and the surrounding colleagues breathed a sigh of relief.
But less than 5 minutes after this breath was released, Yang Hui's hoarse roar came from the boss's office.
Then came the sound of a cup being smashed.
After that was the sound of slamming the door.
Finally, Yang Hui, wearing high heels, stomped on the floor with a thud, and walked out of the office aggressively.
Ignoring the colleagues around her workstation, she picked up her bag and walked out of the company gate.
Messages quickly popped up in the company's small group:
[Yang Hui was fired by the boss!]
—Yu Rongrong, the boss of Lushima Games, had long wanted to kick Yang Hui out.
But the client company cared too much about "inclusivity," which made her feel constrained.
But now it's different.
The client company is already struggling to save itself, and may even die soon.
There is no need to be polite anymore.
What's even worse is: because of Xu Meng's "public naming" operation before, Lushima Games has not been able to receive outsourcing work in China.
The only hope for a turnaround—"Nebula Commando"—is also unprecedentedly bad, with explosive losses!
The hope of receiving overseas orders has also been completely shattered.
Income is cut off.
Lushima Games is afraid that it will not last a few days, and will follow in the footsteps of Luzhu Games and Miao Wang Games, and close down and disband.
Even if Yang Hui is not fired now, she will still be laid off in a few days.
But Yu Rongrong was too angry and didn't sleep all night.
After waking up, she said that she had to fire Yang Hui before the company closed down!
Just to vent her anger!
In the office of Lushima Games, some people gloated over Yang Hui's misfortune, while others were uneasy, fearing being implicated.
At the same time, everyone also knew that the company was in great difficulty.
Not to mention bonuses, they are now worried about wages and the future.
The company's internal morale is unstable.
Outside the company gate, Yang Hui's anger gradually subsided, and she slowed down a little bit.
Her job is gone, her reputation is ruined, her big V account is cancelled, her marriage is divorced, her child is thrown to her husband, and her parents and relatives have also severed ties.
All her social relationships and interpersonal connections have been completely broken.
"What…should I do next?"
This question suddenly appeared in Yang Hui's mind.
How to make money, how to live, how to…pay the rent?
The latest novels are first published on 69shuba.!
She took out her mobile phone from her bag and slowly flipped through the address book, trying to find a number she could dial.
But after flipping through it several times, she still couldn't find anyone to confide in.
Finally, her thumb hesitated and stopped on a man's name.
That was her ex-husband's name.
She stood there, and after a fierce psychological struggle for up to 10 minutes, she still pressed the dial button hard.
[Beep—]
[Dee - The number you dialed is an empty number, please check and dial again.]
[Click]
The phone hung up.
Yang Hui looked at the number in surprise, wanting to see if there was something wrong.
But she immediately realized that she had never remembered her ex-husband's phone number, so there was no way to check.
She was not reconciled and dialed three more times in a row.
But each time it was exactly the same prompt.
In this case, there are only two possibilities:
One: Her ex-husband cancelled the number.
Two: Her phone was blacklisted by her ex-husband.
No matter which one, it clearly expressed her ex-husband's attitude:
Never look back.
Never reconcile.
At this moment, Yang Hui suddenly felt dizzy and weak, holding her brand-name bag, she squatted in the small square at the entrance of the company.
People leaving the company for lunch saw this and avoided her position.
Like avoiding snakes and scorpions.
…
…
On the overseas internet, Kabo was opening champagne.
He even excitedly sent out a slogan:
[Make Games Great Again!!]
In comparison, Niiiko was much more friendly—although he slapped himself mercilessly, he was considered gentle to others.
While gamers in the gaming circle were celebrating the good riddance of "Nebula Commando" with Kabo, he was still sympathizing with those who really worked hard on the game at Du Huo Studio.
—In his and many other people's eyes, many people at Du Huo Studio were also innocent.
They worked hard on the game for 8 years, but it was ruined by the strong intervention of SBI and New Force Games.
8 years of effort, ruined in one fell swoop.
How could it not make people sympathize?
Niiiko left a message on social media, comforting Johnson.
But Johnson replied to him:
[Um…actually I don't care. This is a great game made by a group of talented people, why should I care that a bunch of untalented freaks hate it?]
"??" Niiiko was stunned on the spot.
"What the hell?"
"You are talented?"
"We are freaks??"
After reacting, he even laughed out loud speechlessly: "Hahaha, fuck!!!"
"I was wrong! You bunch of sons of bitches, you really don't deserve any sympathy!!"
Moreover, this guy was not mocking just Niiiko alone.
He was talking about "a bunch of untalented freaks."
In other words—all the players who hate the game "Nebula Commando" are freaks!
Now it's good, not only does no one sympathize with them, but a large number of players have been completely angered by his remarks and have started cursing.
Even Xia Country players specially ran over with a proxy to start spraying:
"Fuck your mother! Do you really think you are something?"
"You are the freak! Your whole family are freaks! Your ancestors for eighteen generations are all freaks!"
"I wish your wife is a 68-year-old 480-pound sausage-lipped transgender black woman!"
…
Johnson didn't pop up again.
Not because he didn't care about being scolded by the players, but because he encountered something more troublesome—
He received a message from a friend at New Force Games in advance:
"Prepare to welcome layoffs."
"Mass layoffs!"
Asking for monthly tickets on the last day, if you don't vote, it will expire!
